A case study reporting on the successful treatment of a patient affected by a basal cell carcinoma is submitted. Because the carcinoma had infiltrated deeply, a wide excision was necessary, including the removal of bone tissue. The deep tissue defect was treated with PROMOGRAN* Matrix, a protease-modulating matrix, to promote granulation and ensure that the skin graft do survive and heal successfully. In this case study, a rapid development of granulation tissue on the exposed surface of the bone was observed. The benefits of the dressing enabled a successful split-thickness skin grafting to be carried out which gave very good aesthetic and functional results.
